✍️ The Edinburgh festival fringe is facing a crisis as rising costs are pricing out student comedy groups, threatening the future of the performing arts festival.
👉 Rising costs are pricing out student comedy groups from attending the Edinburgh festival fringe 👉 The Durham Revue, a student sketch group, has been attending the festival for almost every year since the mid-70s 👉 Current members say that the cost of taking shows to the fringe is becoming increasingly impossible 👉 The group may not be able to attend next year due to lack of funding 👉 The fringe is an important training ground for young comedians 👉 Rising costs will impact the diversity of comedy talent
